To I he trade. 



In looking over our record of many years of stove-making a 
number of pleasant facts are brought to mind. The good name our 
STERLINGS have achieved for themselves throughout the land; 
the large and constantly increasing number that are being sold; 
the growth of territory and number of new customers year by year; 
the pleasant relations we have continuously maintained with our 
trade ; these are all conditions to be proud of, and it is with a 
feeling of gratification that we send this catalogue out in time for 
distribution for the fall trade. 

We have kept step with the changes of time, and by securing 
the exclusive control of a number of patented improvements have 
placed our stoves and ranges in a class by themselves beyond 
competition. These specialties give dealers something to talk 
about beyond mere general expressions as to excellence and the 
customer cannot fail to be impressed with the fact that he is getting 
more for his money when he gets a STERLING than if he bought 
some other stove or range no matter where made, of what material 
or at what price. 

Wherever a STERLING has been sold another is sure to follow, 
for all who have used STERLINGS are enthusiastic in their praise. 
Our stock is so large and so varied and is so constantly receiving 
additions in the way of new goods that there need be no difficulty 
in suiting the most exacting demands. 

Price list, terms and discounts furnished on application.

SPECIAL NOTICE. 

We will investigate cases of failure of any of our goods to work properly 
only on the following conditions : 

1. Our customer must first personally examine the stove or range and 
make every effort to ascertain and remedy the cause of the trouble. 

2. If our customer will report to us in writing that he has made a per- 
sonal inspection and that it is clearly the fault of the stove or range and that 
he is unable to remedy the same, we will, on request, send an expert to look 
after it at our own expense. 

3. If, however, the fault should prove to be with the chimney, or from 
imperfect setting up or operating, the expense must be borne by the parties to 
blame. 



REPAIRS. 

We will correct mistakes of our own in furnishing repairs, and will make 
good any expense caused by our errors will also accept and credit such repairs 
if returned at once, but will not receive back repairs for any other reason or at 
any other time. 

PRICE: — 6 cents per pound net, for rough castings ; 7 cents per pound, 
net, for surface castings ; no single piece for less than 15 cents. These prices 
are for parts of stoves and ranges of recent make. 

ALIv OTHER REPAIRS at piece rate of 10 cents per pound and 
upward, according to time and labor involved. No single piece for less than 
25 cents. 

We have preserved the patterns for staple parts, ordinarily in demand, of 
a few of our obsolete stoves and ranges, from which castings can be obtained 
at the above rates. (See pages 114-115). 



PIRATES AND BOGUS REPAIRS. 

In order that there may be no possible misunderstanding as to our position, 
we wish to state most emphatically that we have no " Licensed Dealers " for 
any water fronts, brick linings, grates or other repairs that are not made by us. 
Certain unscrupulous makers and dealers in pirated repairs of all kinds are 
fraudulently deceiving the trade by advertising in their catalogues and else- 
where that they are "licensed " to sell certain repairs for our stoves and ranges, 
which they make from their own patterns. 

We are determined to fully protect the public, the trade and ourselves 
against the fraudulent use of spurious articles of poor material and workman- 
ship, made from inferior patterns, which can not possibly give the same satis- 
faction as the genuine. 

To legitimate stove dealers who are our recognized agents, we will give the 
exclusive sale of our patented repairs for local territory and we will see that 
they are protected as long as they continue to be our agents. We make a 
specialty of our repair department and it is a matter of serious concern to us 
whether bogus repairs are allowed to go into any of our stoves or ranges. 

Our Water Fronts, Grates, Fire Brick and other parts most in demand are 
patented and marked with date of patent. On other castings and repairs 
either our trade mark or the trade name •« STERLING " or «« RADIX " is 
used. The State and Federal Laws give us full protection in our exclusive 
right to make stoves and ranges of all kinds, and repairs therefor, under our 
trade name, and these rights we will preserve. Where any person sells or 
offers to sell, verbally or otherwise, any goods not made by us that infringe on 
our rights, patent or trade mark, we will take prompt and emphatic means to 
see that it is stopped at once and that all penalties, damages and profits 
allowed us by law are recovered. 

The following are some of the patents under which certain of our repairs 
are manufactured. Other patents are now pending.

IN ORDERING REPAIRS 
Always Give Full Name, Number and Date. 

Because a range has an 8-inch griddle do not call it a " No. 8 " range. It 
may be No. 8, 18, 81, 181, 281, 381, 8-18, 818, 28, 82, 182, etc. 

If it has a letter, like E 92, C A 81, W B 182, etc., be sure to mention it. 

If you have only the broken casting to order by, and are not sure of the 
full name and number of the stove, send a drawing or tracing of the broken 
part, with any distinguishing marks or letters that may be on same. 

In ordering grates state whether Dockash, Duplex, Sterling, Flat, shaking 
or dumping, etc. 

In ordering parts of the fire-box and linings, state whether for Hard Coal, 
Soft Coal or Wood. 

Be sure to state whether goods are to be shipped by mail, express or 
freight. Unless otherwise instructed, we always ship repairs by express at 
customer's expense. 

In ordering repairs for Heaters and Base Burners note if there is an oven, 
double heater attachment, etc., and whether fire-pot is solid or sectional. 

We suggest the following form for a convenient repair order.

Sterling Patent Lifting Hearth 




The old-fashioned sliding or swinging hearth always takes up a large 
amount of extra space when opened, besides being noisy, dirty and a gen- 
eral nuisance in every way. 

The STERLING HEARTH lifts up easily and is held out of the way 
by a catch. All the extra space in the range that is saved by this contri- 
vance is utilized for our very large ash pan, which is so wide that it catches 
all the ashes under the grates, and so long and deep that the hot ashes 
can be raked forward, from under the grates, until enough has accumulated 
to more than fill an ordinary ash pan, and yet leave a clear open space 
under the grate bars. This saves the grate from burning out and allows a 
free space for fresh air to reach the fuel with its supply of oxygen neces- 
sary for complete combustion. 

Half burnt coal means a double coal bill. If you let the ashes heap 
under the fire pot, you will burn up your grate bars as well as your coal. 



Sterling Patent Transparent 

Ventilating Double Oven Door 




This is one of the most telling points of the Sterling Range. It is 
probably the most interesting and never fails to attract the attention of 
those who look at the range. It is certainly one of the strongest SELLING 
FEATURES ever known, and is used exclusively in Sterling Ranges. 

By opening the outer door, the contents of the oven can be inspected 
at any time without injury to anything inside. The progress of the baking 
can be noted without letting any heat escape from the oven or admitting 
any cold air. 

The ventilation of the oven is provided for by admitting fresh air in small 
quantities as desired through the register in the outer nickel door, into the 
space between the two doors, where it is heated up to the oven temperature 
before passing into the oven through the small openings arranged about the 
mica frame. 

All odors and vapors can be turned directly into the chimney flue through 
a register at the back of the oven. This keeps the mica door and oven clean 
and sweet, and, if several articles are cooking at the same time, each will 
retain its individual flavor. 

The Mica Window is made of the best India mica, will not crack, and 
is easily cleaned. 

7 



Sterling Patent Draw-Out Grate 




This has two decided advantages over all other styles of grate and, as with 
all Sterling patents, is found in our own ranges only. 

1. Its conformation to the oval fire-pot leaves no corners for ashes to 
lodge'or clinkers to form. 

2. The system of alternating prongs on the grate bars and frame gives 
freer access of fresh air (oxygen) to the fire, thus affording perfect combustion, 
at the same time permitting more material to be put in the bars making them 
so much stronger. 

The frame is cast in one piece, giving strength and durability. 
The entire grate and frame are supported by the walls of the range. 
The entire grate draws out through the side of the range without removing 
a rod or bolt or disturbing the fire-box linings or water front.

THE OLD WAY. 



Sterling Patent Oval End Fire Box 



FOR COAL AND WOOD 




An examination of the cuts will 
show the superiority of the STER- 
LING Patent Fire Box over all other 
arrangements. 

Fig. 1 shows the old-fashioned 
square fire box. When the end brick 
are removed, for burning wood tem- 
porarily, there is an unprotected space 
left at BB, exposing the front oven 
plate directly to the action of the fire. 
Fig- 3- In Fig. 2 the patented device, used in 

Sterling Ranges only, is shown. The back brick extend clear across the oven 
plate and when the end brick are removed to burn wood there is no danger of 
that portion of the oven plate at AA being burnt out. 

Fig. 3 shows the relative position of the brick, the independent brick 
frame and the Sterling Patent Oval Draw Out Grate. 

Owing to the brick being entirely supported by the independent frame, 
there is no danger of the linings being disturbed by manipulation of the grate, 
as in cases where the brick rest directly upon the grate frame. 

The oval interior leaves no corners for ashes to lodge or clinkers to form 
and the inner face of the bricks makes, with the brick rest and oval grate 
frame, practically one continuous surface. The brick are very heavy, outlast- 
ing five ordinary sets, being of uniform thickness throughout, and remain 
firmly in place without clamps. The full set of permanent Wood Fixtures is 
shown on page 12.

Sterling Patent Flue System 

The flues are the lungs of the range and success depends upon their per- 
fect operation. 

The entire Sterling Flue System is patented and one part is as essential in 
combination as another. For instance, the top flue strip over the oven is an 
essential feature and, if it were left off, it would seriously injure the working 
of the flues. The best baking oven is the one that has the heat most evenly 
distributed over its surfaces or plates. We claim for our patent Flue Strip 
that it so directs the heat, after it leaves the fire-box, that an absolutely perfect 
result is obtained in this respect. Every plate is evenly heated. No poor spots 
in our ovens where there is a question about the baking, as in all other ranges. 

We have shown on previous pages how the large space under the fire-box 
and the alternating prongs on the Sterling Grate and Frame, all combine to 
give free access of air to the fuel. 

We have also shown how the oval shape of the grate and fire-box linings 
assists in the perfect combustion of the fuel. Perfect combustion means great- 
est heat value for the amount of fuel consumed. It consequently depends on 
the flue system to economically utilize the heat thus obtained and provide that 
each unit of heat shall be properly distributed and applied where it will do the 
most good. 



^tekf 




The flue strip (patented) over the oven top divides the heat at once into 
two parallel streams as it leaves the fire-box. All the heat on either side of 
the flue strip must stay on that side until the divided streams unite under the 
oven bottom, owing to the continuation of the dividing flue strip down the 

10 



back of the oven. There is no chance for the heat to take a short cut towards 
the back of the range, as is always the case where the heat is allowed to choose 
its course over a broad oven top, or in the sheet flue system. 

Under the oven the two streams unite, passing forward, fully heating that 
half of the oven bottom farthest from the fire, then turning around the bottom 
flue strip, the other half is heated before passing into the up-flue, which heats 
the fifth side of the oven. There is no chance for the heat to take a back cut 
anywhere while at the same time there are no obstructions to interfere with 
its straight course about the ovtn. 

At the point where the hot air is about to pass into the stove pipe, after 
heating five sides of the oven, is found the Sterling Combination Check 
Damper shown below. 

NOTICE — All infringements on the Sterling Flue System patents will be 
vigorously prosecuted. Parties selling other ranges with the Sterling System 
(including the Top Dividing Flue Strip) do so at their own risk, and will be 
held directly responsible, regardless of where said ranges are manufactured. 

Sterling Direct Draft Damper 

All parts are entirely outside 
of the range. There is but one 
lever and no counter-weights or 
balances are needed. 

The damper plate is as nearly 
air tight as can be made and is so 
arranged that when once closed it 
stays closed and cannot be jarred 
out of position. 

The damper handle remains 
flush with the top of the range, 
avoiding danger of breakage and giving full use of the entire top 
It should be kept shut at all times, except when starting the fire. 

Sterling Patent Combination Check 
Damper 

An ingenious device by which 
the draft can be checked to any 
degree desired. 

As the register is opened to 
let cold air into the pipe flue, the 
damper plate automatically swings 
into place directly across the flue, 
thus taking the place of a stove 
pipe damper. When the slide- 
damper openings are closed, the 
damper plate swings into a vertical 
position. 

11 





Sterling Lock Center 




The locking device allows for ample expansion and the two parts can be 
handled together like a one-piece center. The great width of this piece and 
of the short centers, permits several large utensils to be used on the top of the 
range at the same time. 



Sterling Fire Box for Wood, 



The complete set of permanent 
wood fixtures consists of a front sec- 
tion, bottom grate and frame and 
three back sections. A large exten- 
sion pouch in the wall of the range 
gives ample room for long sticks of 
wood. 

For sections where wood is used 
only as a temporary fuel, we have, 
instead of an entire set of wood fix- 
tures, a single sliding wood grate 
which takes the place of the regular 
sliding coal grate. By removing the 
end brick, which come out easily, the 
coal fire-box can be prepared for wcod in a very few minutes. The Sterling 
Patent Fire-box, described on page 9, makes this the most complete and satis- 
factory arrangement for burning wood temporarily to be found in any range.

STERLING RANGE 

"Has No Equal." 

There is a decided pleasure in showing and explaining a STERLING 
RANGE to a possible purchaser. The Range itself is a beauty. Merely on 
account of its ornamentation and general appearance it is something that 
attracts immediate attention. Next, is the weight of the castings and the per- 
fection of their finish. The bright polish of the nickel work is also to be 
noted. The nickel bands on pipe shelf, top of range, edge of hearth and under 
the reservoir, are of a special shape or contour which we think is a little neater 
in appearance than anything of the kind found on other makes. 

All of these, however, are features that should be found to some extent 
in any range that is carefully made. The reason that the STERLING 
RANGES are a little better than others in this respect is perhaps due to 
the fact that we give special attention to such details, knowing that they will 
assist the dealer in selling these Ranges, besides making a pleased customer 
wherever a sale is made. 

But there is yet more to be told. There are features great and small, that 
can not be found in any other Range made. Many of them are controlled by 
our own patents Some of these features are fully described on the preceding 
pages and need be only mentioned here. In this connection we want to call 
your attention to the fact that while there are many Ranges on the market that 
sell for about the same price as the STERLING, none of them have these 
features. If, by any chance, they could have them, you may be very sure they 
would be selling at a much greater price than STERLINGS are selling for 
now. We make no extra charge for these patented features, although there is 
no doubt that they add greatly to the value of the Range. It therefore follows 
that a purchaser buying a STERLING RANGE gets much more for his money 
than if he had bought some other make. 

It requires but a little comparison, feature for feature, to establish the 
superiority of the STERLING RANGE over all others. No matter what part 
of the Range is being considered, hearth, grates, fire-box, flues, oven, linings,- 
dampers, ash pan, even to the smallest detail, some point of advantage will 
be found. 

THE LIFTING HEARTH is a great convenience and, like all of our 
patented features, is found in no other Ranges. The Transparent Double 
Oven Door, besides allowing inspection of the interior of the oven without 
injuring its contents, also gives a means of ventilating the oven thoroughly. 
The opening is enlarged to admit plenty of light and the mica divided into 
six sections. 

THE FLUE SYSTEM is one of the strongest arguments a dealer can use, 
as no other system distributes the heat about the five sides of the oven so 
thoroughly and evenly. The top flue strip which, as explained on page 10, is 
an essential feature of this patented system, extends almost to the edge of the 
fire-box, so as to force an absolutely even division of the heat at the initial 
point of its journey around the oven. 

13 



In connection with our patent flue system we have introduced a Direct 
Draft Damper of entirely new construction. It is made to fit snugly in a one- 
piece frame, which is found to be much better than making joints with two or 
more pieces, and is so nearly air tight that no heat can possibly escape into 
the smoke flue. When once closed it remains closed and can not be forced 
open by a back draft or strong wind. It has only a few parts and these can be 
repaired without removing the top or a bolt or a screw. The Damper handle 
remains flush with the top of the range, avoiding danger of breakage and 
giving full use of the entire top. 

THE STERLING PATENT GRATE has essential features widely vary- 
ing from all other makes. In addition to the structural details given on page 
8 it should be noticed that allowance has been made for the greatest possible 
expansion of the bars by heat. The cogs are securely fastened in place by pins 
and can not fall off when handling the grate. The shank on the front bar is 
fashioned to give a good grip for the shaker so it will not slip off when turning 
the grate. 

CLOSED BASE (shown on pages 34 and 35) can be furnished with anv 
style or size of the STERLING RANGE. It gives a strong and massive ap- 
pearance to the stove, besides preventing cold drafts of air or the accumulation 
of dirt under the main bottom. 

STERLING PATENT FIRE=BOX ARRANGEMENT. The advantages 
of this arrangement, which is our own invention, are shown on page 9. A 
glance at the diagrams shows how the oven front is protected in STERLING 
RANGES where it is exposed in others when burning wood. 

The front linings for hard coal, soft coal or wood can be removed and our 
water fronts put in their place without having to change the rest of the fire-box 
linings or grate. 

The brick linings are manufactured under U. S. Design Patents and their 
unwarranted manufacture or sale by other parties is an infringement on same 
and will be stopped wherever such illegal practices may be found. 

WATER FRONTS. Three kinds of water fronts are shown on page 17. 

These are strong and well made, and are all thoroughly tested before leaving 
our shops. 

BROILER DOOR. Extra large and commodious. Remains in place 
without the use of turnbuckles, and can be dropped entirely out of the way 
when in use, and constructed to avoid the nuisance of ashes sifting onto the 
hearth. A single ventilated drop handle, '' always cool," is used to open this 
broiler door and operate the draft slide. In the City Style of the Sterling 
Range a second drop broiler door is located so that broiling may be done under 
the coals, when that method is preferred. 

All parts in both the upper and lower drafts are accurately fitted, so as to 
be as nearly air tight as possible, and the draft openings are made large enough 
to insure perfect control of the fire at all times. 

Strong fastenings and air-tight joints are features of the GRATE CAP and 
CLEAN=OUT FLUE STOP. The latter is specially designed to insure against 
leakage of air under the oven bottom. The advice ''Putty me in" should 
always be observed. 

14 



OVEN TOP well cemented and constructed to insure even distribution of 
heat and prevent over heating of the upper part of the oven. 

RESERVOIR. Great care has been taken to prevent any leakage or 
dripping from condensation. All moisture is carried into the flues where it is 
evaporated by the heat. The reservoir damper is fitted accurately and can be 
removed for repairs without dismounting the stove. Copper or enameled iron 
tanks can be furnished as ordered. 

CHIMNEY CONNECTION. In some kitchens it is desirable to make a 
direct horizontal connection with the chimney instead of the usual overhead 
connection. We can furnish "low down" connection for this purpose when 
desired. But one sized cap is used which fits either the back or top of the T 
Shelf Bracket or the opening on the top of the Pipe Shelf. All joints are 
double flanged. 

Other features are mentioned on page 18. 

The best way to sell a Sterling is to make an actual comparison, part for 
part, with some other make. Show your customer that, no matter what may 
be claimed of the other range, it falls far short of the Sterling Range in the 
way of equipment. Ask him this question : "Do you know of any essential 
feature found in any other range made, that would improve the Sterling Range 
in any way, shape or form?" We hardly think he does. On the other hand 
we know and you know that there are many features in the Sterling Range 
that cannot be found in any other range made, and this because they are all 
patented and exclusively controlled by us. Moreover, we hold these inventions 
in such great worth that we are not willing to allow any concern to make or 
sell anything that can possibly be construed as an infringement on our rights 
in the same. We owe this to our customers as well as ourselves. 

QUALITY. The horse that can pull the greatest load in the least time is 
worth the most to you. The cow that can give the richest milk in the greatest 
quantity is worth the most to you. Two violins may appear exactly alike, and 
have the same shape and weight, yet one may be worth five dollars and the 
other worth five thousand dollars. It is the quality that counts every time. 
The Sterling Range will bake a barrel of flour into over 250 1^ lb. loaves of 
bread in less time and with less fuel than any other range made. This proves 
the quality of our range. We have given hundreds of demonstrations of its 
ability to turn a barrel of flour into perfect bread as stated before many thou- 
sands of witnesses. One Sterling will do it as well as another, and we do not 
carry about a specially prepared range for the purpose. We always use a range 
from our customers stock. Many years ago we challenged all range makers or 
dealers for a public bread baking contest, but none have ever dared accept the 
challenge. There can be but one good reason why. 

PRICE. Making a fair comparison with ranges of equal dimensions, 
based on the actual value of labor, iron and all other materials entering into 
their cost, you will find our prices low, without considering the added value of 
the Sterling Features such as are found only in the STERLING RANGE. In 
fact, " the recollection of STERLING quality remains long after the price is 
forgotten " 

15 



DIRECTIONS FOR MANAGEMENT OF 

THE NEW STERLING RANGE 



There are four Dampers, three above the fire and one under the fire. 
The Sliding Damper under the Fire should be open to start Fire, and may 
also be open partially while baking, if the draft is not too strong, to insure 
circulation in the oven flues. 

The Plunge Damper at the right of the pipe collar, must be opened only 
when starting fire. 

The Sliding Dampers in the Broiler Door and Collar Box are for the 
purpose of Checking or Holding the Fire, and their use will depend mostly 
on the strength of the draft of the chimney. 

In Operating the Grate, place the handle on the grate bar, pointing to 
the left, and make complete half-turn to the Right, to the Stop, never 

to the Left. It is seldom that there is such an accumulation of ashes that 
more than one turn of the handle is necessary to clear the fire ; should there 
be, however, remove the handle and place it on the bar, pointing to the left, 
again, and turn to the Right only. 

To bake, much better results may be obtained by using a Thin Fire, say 
one-half the depth of the fire pot, kept perfectly Free from Obstruction by 

ashes, to insure the circulation in the flues. 

The fire-pot is to be filled completely only when the fire is to be kept over 
night, and then must be properly checked, with the Broiler Door and Pipe 
Collar Dampers, to hold until morning. 

Where hot water reservoir is attached to range, be sure that the reservoir 
damper is always turned to the Right and damper handle in vertical 
position ; but when hotter water is desired, and not baking, turn the damper 
to the left. 

Use Small Sized Coal. Chestnut is the Best. 



16 



WATER FRONTS (Sterling Range Only) 

Attention is called to the fact that our Trade Mark is placed on each of 
these Water Fronts, and dealers are hereby notified that none are genuine 
without this distinguishing feature. 

It is unnecessary for us to dwell on the fact that it is best to buy these 
from us, knowing that our castings are made of the best grade iron direct from 
the original patterns, without loss by shrinkage and filing down. Unauthor- 
ized imitations are poorly made and cannot possibly fit the range. Parties 
who use these inferior articles do so at their own risk.

Sterling Range (City style) 

FOR COAL OR WOOD. 

Floor space is valuable in small kitchens and in many cases it is either 
inconvenient or impossible to put in the full sized STERLING RANGE with 
its lifting hearth and generous ash pan. 

By removing the hearth and putting a deep ash pan under the grates to 
draw out through the side of the range, we have managed to save considerable 
floor space and have thus enabled our customers to place many hundred " City 
Style" Sterling Ranges where they would otherwise have been obliged to lose 
the sale or put in some other make not as good as a Sterling. The "City Style" 
is also used in cases where so-called " right hand " ranges are generally found 
necessary. 

We have placed a large BROILER DOOR in the front of the range, which 
can be dropped down out of the way. as shown in the " open view " on the 
opposite page, thus giving access to the front and bottom of the grate for 
broiling. 

In all other respects this range is an exact duplicate of the STERLING 
RANGE, and has

This is simply a solid cast iron base reaching to the floor, instead of the 
fancy base with legs shown in previous cuts. It can be furnished with any 
style or size of the Sterling Range, and is here shown with the Sterling Range,

combining strength with beautiful ornamentation. It serves a practical pur- 
pose as well, as it prevents cold drafts of air or the accumulation of dirt

FORMING A 

Combination Range for Coal and Gas 

There is yet more than has been told, wherein the STERLING RANGE 

possesses additional advantages over all other makes. 

There are very few kitchens that can conveniently spare the room for both 
a coal range and a separate gas range, and yet, for purposes of comfort and 
convenience, a good gas stove has come to be looked upon as almost a 
necessity in many homes and there is no doubt that many more would use 
them if they had the space. Not having room for two ranges, however, they 
have been obliged to retain their coal range and give up the luxury of the gas 
stove for want of space. 

With the STERLING RANGE, dealers can boom their trade by meeting 
both requirements. The coal range has already been described. There is no 
other range for coal that can compete with it. For gas consumers extra parts, 
working independently, have been built, under U. S. Patents, for all kinds of 
cooking, baking, broiling, and heating water, and these can be attached to the 
STERLING RANGE at any time without taking additional space in the 
kitchen, thus doubling the capacity of the range without occupying any more 
floor space. The Gas Attachments can do everything the coal range can do, 
from preparing a cup of hot tea to a warm bath, or from broiling a chop to 
cooking a Christmas dinner. Some prefer gas for fuel at all times in preparing 
certain articles of food such as fish, chops, steaks, etc. 

It is a selling as well as a talking point for a dealer to show his customer 
that it is an added advantage to buy a STERLING RANGE, from the fact 
that should he wish at any time to use gas as temporary fuel, he can add these 
Gas Attachments to the STERLING RANGE already set up in his kitchen 
without sacrificing valuable floor space or altering the range. 

In personal appearance the Combination Range is tasteful and a decided 
ornament to any kitchen. 

On the following pages are shown the Gas Attachments in combination 
with several styles of the STERLING RANGE. The list prices are for the 
Gas Attachments only. See previous pages for list prices on STERLING 
RANGES.

Memoranda 

Relative to Sterling Gas Attachments 



Ten-light meter required to give right pressure (at j§ pressure) . 

Best to connect i-inch pipe from main to meter, and ^=inch service is 
required from meter to range. 

In towns where much manufacturing is done with gas it is best to put a 
"governor" between the main and the meter. 

We ship our Ranges with valves having 44 (Morse drill) orifice for the 
oven and griddle burners and 39 orifice for broiler burners. These are sup- 
posed to be right for manufactured gas (coal or naphtha). For natural gas 
(of greater pressure) smaller, say about 50 and 47, would be right. Water gas, 
half way between. 

Gas oven will bake in ten minutes less time than good coal oven. 

Broiler will broil thick steak in 15 minutes. 

Should allow about ten minutes to heat the oven before beginning to bake 
and allow from five to ten minutes for broiler to heat. 

Oven burners consume about 28 feet per hour. Broiler burners consume 
about 30 feet per hour. Griddle burners consume about 14 feet each per hour. 

The Gas Attachments are shipped all ready to put onto the range, and with 
the necessary piping cut into proper lengths for adjustment. All that is neces- 
sary is to make the proper connections with the pipe from the gas meter.

DIRECTIONS FOR OPERATING 

Sterling Combination Gas Attachments 

IN GENERAL 

Never light at the " air mixer, " for by so doing the gas will "pop" and 
burn in the "mixer." Proper means for lighting are provided. 

After lighting, the gas should burn with a clear blue flame, which is 
obtained by the admission of air in proper quantities through the " mixer." 
A yellow or white flame is caused by an insufficient supply of air and leaves 
odor and soot. The amount of air to be admitted varies with the pressure of 
the gas, a high pressure requiring more air than a low pressure. 

When the "mixer" has once been properly adjusted it should not be 
disturbed. 

If the gas "pops" or burns in the "mixer," turn off gas entirely, and 
light over again, re-adjusting the "mixer '' if necessary. 

Always keep the top, or "exit" damper closed (with handle turned up) 
when not using gas. 

See that all cocks are tightly closed when through using. 

The service pipe should be at least one inch in diameter. 

If there is a strong odor while burning gas, it is a sure sign that the gas is 
either burning in the "mixer," or that the "exit damper" is not open, or 
that the proper amount of air is not adjusted, and the flame is not burning 
blue. 

No. I COMBINATION 

High Gas Oven. Open "exit " damper and one or both gas burners, as 
desired. Light the middle or "pilot cock " and turn same off as soon as the 
gas is burning inside. See that the gas burns with a clear blue flame. When 
through using turn off all cocks and close " exit ? ' damper. 

High Gas Broiler. Turn on gas cocks and light the gas from inside of 
broiler. Be sure that " exit " damper is open, otherwise the flame will float 
and make a strong odor. The broiler rack can be adjusted to any height. 
When through using, close all cocks and "exit" damper. 

Three End Burners. One or more can be used as desired. Turn on gas 
and light over burner. See that the flame burns blue. Drip-pan under burners 
can be drawn out and cleaned. When not in use, the griddle holes may be 
kept covered, thus forming an end shelf flush with oven top. Do not burn gas 
under the lid covers. 

Gas Water Heater. Turn on gas, light through small hole in front, or 
at the side openings. See opposite page for pipe connections recommended. 

No. 2 COMBINATION 

Three End Burners, with drip-pan and lid covers, are operated as with 
No. 1 Combination. 

Low Gas Oven. Open both cocks ; light pilot cock and close same as 
soon as gas is ignited 

Low Gas Broiler. Same as for low gas oven.

World's Sterling Ranges 

FOR ANY KIND OF COAL OR WOOD. 

Two 6-Hoi.e Series. One 4-Hoi.e Series. 

(pp 48-55) (pp. 56-61) 

With these ranges on his floor the dealer is fully prepared for the customer 
who " wants to see something else a little cheaper," by offering him a choice 
from a full line of "high-grade" Ranges in three distinct styles, one 4-hole 
and two 6-hole, making a total of 26 different ranges, of first-class material and 
workmanship all under one name and grade at prices within the reach of all. 
They are of such an attractive appearance that we have had the general design 
patented 

STERLING PATENTS. The main cause of the popularity of these 
Ranges, aside from their moderate cost, is the use of our Sterling Patent 
Specialties. These place the World's Sterling Ranges in a class ahead of all 
other " moderate priced " goods and, owing to these advantages, they are thus 
doubly able to compete with higher priced goods of other makes. 

The World's Sterling Range is particularly well adapted for burning soft 
coal, having a complete set of extra heavy and durable Iron Fire-Box Linings, 
specially designed for that fuel. 

We have for permanent use a full set of regular Wood Fixtures, consisting 
of heavy cast iron minings, with dump wood grate. 

For temporary use, when it is not desired to change all the Fire-Box 
Linings, we recommend the World's Sterling as being peculiarly adapted, 
owing to the arrangement of the back fire brick linings so as to extend the entire 
length of the front oven plate thus amply protecting that portion of the oven. 
Other linings (in other makes), are generally arranged so that when the ends 
are removed a considerable portion of the front oven plate is directly exposed 
to the heat. (Illustrated on page 9. ) 

By removing the iron end linings of the World's Sterling Range (which 
are so constructed as to be most easily taken out without touching a bolt or 
screw or removing the back brick), and by substituting the Sliding Wood 
Grate for the regular Draw-Out Grate for coal, the coal fire-box can be altered 
in a very few seconds into a complete fire-box for wood.

4*i 



WORLD'S STERLING RANGES 



DIRECTIONS FOR OPERATING. 

There are Four Dampers, three above the fire and one under the fire. 
The Sliding Damper under the Fire should be open to start the Fire, and 
may also be open partially while baking, if the draft is not too strong, to insure 
circulation in the oven flues. 

The PIunge=Lock Damper at the right of the pipe collar must be raised 
only when starting fire. At all other times it should be locked as indicated by 
arrow. 

The Sliding Dampers in the Broiler Door and at the left of the Pipe 
Collar are for the purpose of Checking or Holding the Fire, and their use 
will depend mostly on the strength of draft of the chimney. 

In Operating the Grate, place the handle on the grate bar pointing to 
the left, and make complete half-turn to the right, to the stop, never to the 

left. It is seldom that there is such an accumulation of ashes that more than 
one turn of the handle is required to clear the fire ; should there be, however, 
remove the handle and place it on the bar pointing to the left again and turn 
to the right only. 

Use small Coal — Chestnut size is the best. 

To bake, much better results may be obtained by using a Thin Fire, say 
one-half the depth of the fire-pot, kept perfectly Free from Obstruction by 

ashes, to insure the circulation in the flues. 

The Fire pot is to be filled completely only when the fire is to be kept over 
night, and then must be properly checked with the Broiler Door and Pipe 
Collar Dampers, to hold until morning. 

When hot water reservoir is attached to the range, be sure that the reservoir 
damper is always turned to the right and damper handle in vertical position, 
but when hotter water is desired, and not baking, turn the damper to the left. 

For Burning Wood temporarily, remove the cap that covers the end of 
the grate, pull out the coal grate and insert the sliding Wood Grate. Replace 
the Grate Cap, remove the two iron pieces at the ends of the fire-box and the 
range is ready for burning wood. 

For permanent use, a full set of wood fixtures is provided.

World's Sterling Range 

FOUR=HOLE SERIES. 

We particularly call the attention of the trade to the great superiority of 
the Four Hole WORLD'S STERLING over all other four-hole ranges. 

It takes the place of a Sterling Range wherever a high grade four-hole 
range is sold in preference to a large six-hole range. It has the leading 
*' STERLING PATENTS" and is way ahead of any other four-hole range on 
the market. 

No stronger selling point can be made by the dealer than to say, " This 
four-hole World has Sterling Specialties that not only can not be found in any 
other four-hole range, but they can not be duplicated or equaled in any six- 
hole range made elsewhere. They are high grade throughout with the perfect 
flue system and other advantages found in the six- hole Sterling Ranges, and 
are, beyond a doubt, he most complete and elegant four-hole ranges to be 
found anywhere." 

The Four-Hole World is as far ahead of all other four-hole ranges as the 
STERLING RANGE " Has No Equal" is ahead of all other six-hole ranges. 

The following special features should be noted : 

Sterling Patent Lift Hearth (See page 6). 

Sterling Patent Flue System (See page 10). 

Sterling Patent Draw=Out Grate (See page 8). 

Sterling Lock Center (See page 12).

Radix Ranges 

FOR ANY KIND OF COAL OR WOOD. 

One 6-Hole Series. One 4-Hole Series. 

(pp 62-67) (pp 68-71) 

In an endeavor to anticipate every want in the stove line we have bent our 
energies lately to the production of a line of ranges, both six-hole and four- 
hole, calculated to meet the occasional demand for the cheapest range that will 
do its work well, rather than for the very best that can be made. We have 
studied the situation carefully, and have come to the conclusion that there is 
sufficient demand for something of this kind to warrant the efforts we have 
made to produce an excellent range that will be as cheap as is consistent with 
good workmanship and material. To distinguish these ranges from our other 
makes, we have adopted an entirely new name — RADIX, for both the four- 
hole and six-hole styles. 

There will no doubt be found some cheaper ranges on the market than the 
Radix ranges. There is a difference in the cost of good pig iron and scrap. 
It is much cheaper to make over old patterns than to carve out an entirely new 
set from the wood. We use only high grades of pig iron in all our stoves and 
ranges — we have never bought a pound of scrap iron. The wood patterns for 
the RADIX are entirely new, and have never been used in any range before. 

So long as melted scrap can be poured into the sand, it will be an easy 
matter for someone else to make a cheap range, and a poor one. Making a 
cheap range and a good one, however, is an entirely different matter. It 
requires just as much skill — perhaps more — to plan and make a cheap range 
well as it does to make a high grade range, and we make nothing that is not 
made well. We have no hesitancy in frankly stating that our RADIX is a 
cheap range as compared with our other makes, but we can also add, with per- 
fect truthfulness, that it is the BEST CHEAP RANGE to be found in the land. 

The following special features should be noted : 

Oven Thermometer on every range. 

Draw=Out Grate for coal. 

Large Ash Pan. 

Sliding Wood Grate, for temporary use. 

Full Set of Wood Fixtures, for permanent use. 

Heavy Cast Linings, for soft coal.

Quick change from coal to wood burning fire box. 

Elaborate Nickel Work, including Oven Door Plate, Oven Door Shelf,

Grates Used in Sterling Heating Stoves 




The cut shows the regular form of Duplex Grate with Ransom's Patent 
Annular Shaking Ring such as is used in the larger Parlor Heaters — Sterling, 
Silver Sterling and Sterling Ventilator. 

Only one shaker is used and the grate is operated very easily. 

The Duplex Grate bars, when turned, work toward each other, cutting out 
the dead fire, ashes and clinkers, leaving a clean, bright fire, without the loss 
of live coal — the annular ring, acting in the double capacity of an agitator 
and a bottom grate, is grooved on the under side, fitting into a stationary grate 
frame around which it partially revolves, cleaning that part of the fire-pot 
and grate not brought in contact with the Duplex Grate. This ring and 
grate frame cannot warp, do not bind, but always work evenly and with good 
effect. 



74 



Grates Used in Sterling Heating Stoves 




In the Sun Sterling, Sterling Base Heater-Oak and its direct draft com- 
panion, the Sterling Oak, we are using a newly invented grate which is highly 
appreciated by both dealer and consumer. The independent sliding frame 
which supports either of the two grates (wood or coal) can be quickly drawn 
out through the ash-pit door and as quickly replaced. The grate itself, resting 
on the frame, can be shaken or dumped, as desired. In the Sun Sterling the 
sliding frame also acts as an ash chute. The wood grate fits in the space 
occupied by the coal grate. 

The grate used for hard coal consists of an outside shaking ring and two 
rolling bars constructed under our own patent, with interlacing prongs and 
oval ends, giving great strength and at the same time admitting a full supply 
of air to assist in combustion. The bars fit in sockets in the shaking ring and 
require no bolts or other adjustments. Only one shaker is used for turning the 
bars or shaking the grate. 

To cut out dead coal, place the shaker on the shank with the handle point- 
ing to the left, make a quick half turn to the right, and the coal will be cut 
out, leaving a clean fire on the grate. If necessary to repeat the operation, 
first remove the shaker and replace it with the handle pointing to the left- 
Never turn from right to left.

STERLING VENTILATOR 

Base Burner. Hot Air Circulator. 
For Hard Coal. 

This heater quickly won its way to fame soon after it was placed on the 
market, and a constant increase in sales from year to year has shown us that 
we have found something that the people want. As long as the demand is so 
great we shall continue to make them. 

The Sterling Ventilator has a double system of flues, by which a combina- 
tion of heating surfaces is obtained that enables the dome section to heat as 
much as the base. 

The hot air from the fire pot is carried through the combustion flues and 
around the base in the usual manner of the return flue system, and the draft is 
readily controlled by dampers placed in the up flue. 

By the second or circulating system, the cold air is taken in at the extreme 
bottom of the stove and distributed into four long hot air flues which pass 
upward at the interior corners of the stove and very close to the fire-pot, where 
they are directly exposed to an intense heat. The four currents of superheated 
air are then circulated around the interior of the double dome top, which gives 
an amount of radiation not to be found at this part of the stove in other makes, 
and are then discharged from the register at the rear. 

By a slight alteration of this register the stove can be turned into a power- 
ful double heater. 

Other striking features are : 

Immense Mica Illumination. 

Elegant Top Ornament. 

Tea=KettIe Attachment so arranged that Boiling can be done with- 
out turning the direct Draft Damper. 

Eight inch cover on every size. 

Convenient place to clean base flues above nickel leg base. 

Sectional Fire=pot and Duplex Grate with shaking ring. 

Extra automatic Gas Cover which swings off with the main cover. 

Every Stove a double heater. 

Highest Grade in style and design, weight, finish and effective 
operation.

STERLING 

Base Burner. For Hard Coai,. Hot Air Circulator. 

A glorious heater, symmetrical and pleasing to the eye, of generous 
proportions and elaborate ornamentation. 

An enormous expanse of mica gives a free view of the fire from all parts 
of the room, and its genial glow casts its warmth to the farthest corner. 

It has been planned to obtain the greatest possible surface for direct heat 
radiation, and the system of flues, shown in the diagrams opposite, insures a 
combined circulation and radiation that develops the greatest heating efficiency 
with the least amount of fuel. 

The hot air rushes into the down flue, to the left and rear of the fire-pot 
(see Fig. 1), and after heating the entire radiating surface of the base, as 
shown in Fig. 2, passes into the up flue, where the draft is easily controlled by 
a simple system of dampers, and thence into the chimney. As stated, every 
square inch of radiating surface is utilized. 

A combustion chamber also adds to the radiating surface, as it extends to 
the top of the stove instead of stopping at the top of the mica section, as is 
usual with stoves of this class. 

The hot air circulating flue is remarkable for its efficiency, being so placed 
as to form a division between the down and up combustion flues, thus getting 
the full benefit of the heat therein on all sides instead of on the one side next 
to the fire-pot only. (See sectional cut, opposite.) 

The cold air is taken in at an opening in the extreme bottom of the stove 
(which can be connected with outside air if desired), and is carried through 
the interior of the stove to the extreme top without interfering with or detract- 
ing from the radiating surface. 

Many so-called " circulators " have the hot air flue outside of the radiating 
surface, thus being exposed to heat on one side only, and at the same time 
detracting from the radiating surface. 

The nickel dome has independent ventilation. The stove is easily dis- 
mounted for repairs, and the entire stove can be taken apart at the fire-pot 
section, while the flanges are made large and strong enough to permit easy 
handling and lifting. 

As a double heater, a pipe can be connected at the top of the hot air flue, 
to heat rooms on upper floors, without requiring extra attachments. 

Has a heavy straight sided fire=pot of Extra Capacity cast in one 
piece. 

Has Duplex Grate with shaking ring. 

Has convenient place to clean base flues. 

Has ventilated magazine and extra gas cover. 

All nickel is thoroughly ventilated and easily removable. 

Elegant Top Ornament. 

Greatest Mica Illumination. 

Commended to those wishing a Leader. 

Nickel Base, Foot Rails, Name Plate. Number Plate, Corner Col- 
umns, Hot Air Register, Dome and Swing Cover. 

Tea=Kettle Attachment at rear.

SUN STERLING 

Return Flue Base Heater. Hot Air Circulator 
For Hard Coal. 

A return flue parlor heater of medium size and grade, for hard coal, with 
newly invented grates and other features to which we invite your special 
attention. 

It has been some time since we put a small parlor heater on the market, 
and the many friends of the original STERLING will welcome the advent of 
its successor, the beautiful SUN STERLING. We call it a small stove merely 
by contrast with the large heaters we have been making. While the inside 
diameters of the deep fire-pot are 11, 12, 13, 15 and 16 inches respectively, the 
stove has been built on such generous lines that its proportions really appear 
much greater. 

A very important feature of this stove is the newly invented shaking grate 
(patented), which rests on an independent sliding grate frame that can be 
readily drawn out through the ash pit door. This grate is described on page 75. 
The sliding grate frame is made so as to form an ash chute, and is cast all in 
one piece. No grate hangers are needed for the bars, as they rest in sockets 
formed in the shaking grate ring. Only one shaker is used. 

The flues are the regular single return flue system, through which the heat 
passes down to the left and rear of the fire-pot, circulates around the entire 
bottom, thence through the up flue, where it is controlled by the check damper, 
and finally passes into the smoke pipe. Through the clean-out door in the 
front of the stove base the bottom flues can be easily reached and cleaned. 

Besides the draft door in the ash pit, there are two dampers in the rear of 
the stove. The upper one, which can be removed without touching rods or 
bolts, is the Direct Draft Damper, and the lower one is the Check Damper, 
which also serves as a dust damper, and should be opened when shaking down 
the fire. 

The stove is easily taken apart at the fire-pot section, making it a simple 
matter to replace a fire-pot. The deep fire- pot is cast in one piece, and is extra 
heavy. 

The hot air circulating flues take in air through lattice openings at each 
side of the rear of the base, passing it upwards in close proximity to the fire- 
pot and out through a central opening at the back of the top. If desired, a 
double heating attachment may be added for heating rooms on an upper floor, 
A convenient tea-kettle attachment with griddle is provided at the rear of the 
stove. 

The stove has large mica illumination and presents a remarkably bright 
and cheerful appearance. The large polished nickel jacket serves to increase 
this effect by its brilliant reflection on three sides of the glow of the fire within. 
Swinging the nickel dome raises the automatic gas cover over the magazine, 
which, in turn, acts as a protector to the dome, preventing its being scratched 
or tarnished when putting in coal. 

The nickel parts, including Dome, Jacket, Side Columns, Name Plate, 
Foot Rails, Base Skirts and Legs, are all ventilated to prevent tarnishing by 
heat, and can be readily removed. 

An elegant Ormolu Urn surmounts this most dazzling achievement in the 
way of brilliantly successful ornamentation of the most beautiful medium sized 
heating stove in the world.

Sterling Base Heater-Oak 

With Newly Invented Return Flue and Mechanical Grate. 
For Hard Coal or Wood. 

There are many so-called " Oak Stoves " on the market, mainly consisting 
of a cast iron fire-pot with sheet iron or steel drum, which, so far as artistic 
design and general appearance are concerned, are not to be compared with the 
high-grade parlor stoves. Whatever heat they generate is at the expense of 
fuel, owing to difficulty in regulating and controlling the fire, and in the con- 
sumption of hard coal they are far from economical. This, we think, is the 
opinion of every dealer who has had experience with Oak Stoves up to the 
time the Sterling Base Heater-Oak was placed on the market. 

Realizing the demand for a stove that would be handsome in appearance, 
economical in consumption of fuel, and at the same time develop great heating 
capacity, we have produced a stove in which are combined the best qualities of 
a surface-burning parlor stove with the best qualities of a base-burning (maga- 
zine) base-heating stove, at the same time retaining all the best qualities of the 
popular Oak stove. 

As with the Sterling Range, we have placed this stove beyond the reach of 
all competitors by means of clever inventions (of which we control the patents) , 
besides introducing structural features of special design and building special 
machinery for the purpose. 

Two radical departures in stove construction are our newly invented Return 
Flue System and the patented mechanical grate. These are described on pages 
92 and 75, respectively, while the cut on page 90 shows clearly the immense 
amount of heat that is radiated in every direction by this stove. 

The successful experiments originally made by us with this stove, backed 
by the unanimous opinion of all who have used the stove since it was placed on 
the market, have convinced us that we have originated the most powerful, 
economical and easily regulated surface-burning or base-burning, base-heating 
stove ever thought of, for coal or wood. 



WHAT WE KNOW 

ABOUT THE 

STERLING BASE HEATER-OAK 



WE KNOW, and every dealer knows that the average Oak stove is either 
red hot or cold, owing, in general, to faulty construction and inability to 
properly control the fire and, in particular, to the use of unsatisfactory grates. 

These faults we have fully eliminated, as will be seen from the following 
details : 

WE KNOW that, as a return flue stove, the STERLING BASE HEATER= 

OAK is more easily regulated, keeps fire longer, burns less fuel, is a stronger 
heater, and is in every way more economical than any direct draft stove. 

WE KNOW that it is much better, and yet cheaper than any base heating 
parlor stove of equal fire-pot capacity. 

WE KNOW that we have built the very stove that every stove merchant 
and manufacturer in the land has been wanting and trying to find for years. 

WE KNOW, from our largely increased sales, that the consumer is quick 
to appreciate a good thing wherever found and it is up to the dealer to see that 
the STERLING BASE HEATER=OAK can be found at his store instead of 
at his competitor's. 

WE KNOW that in all Oaks heretofore made the mechanical grate for 
coal is firmly mounted and difficult to repair. No other fuel can be burned 
without a complete change of grates and dismounting the stove. It is not even 
possible to poke the fire. 

This is all overcome in our new Oaks. Our newly invented draw-out grate 
for coal is self mounting (no bolts being used) and it can readily be drawn out 
through the ash pit door without taking the stove apart or touching a rod or 
bolt. Large openings in the grate afford a supply of air amply sufficient to 
insure perfect combustion of the fuel. Provision has also been made for poking 
the fire. 

The grate shakes, agitates, cuts out and dumps all ashes and clinkers. 
One shaker only is used, operating through an opening in the ash pit door, 
thus keeping all dust and ashes where they belong. (See page 75. ) 

WE KNOW that in most homes it is frequently desired to burn wood for 
a short time. Our drop wood grate is quickly placed on top of the regular 
coal grate (no alterations being necessary) and the stove is ready for burning 
wood economically at a moment's notice. 

Where wood is permanently used, we furnish a regular shaking and dump- 
ing wood grate that can be fitted into the same sliding frame that holds the 
coal grate. 

88 



The direct damper plate is guarded so that it cannot be knocked out of posi- 
tion by chunks of wood thrown into the fire pot. A large hanging door or spark 
arrester prevents smoke and gas escaping when main door is open, without 
interfering with putting in the wood. 

WE KNOW that it is as wasteful to try to heat a room with a direct 
draft stove (such as all Oaks heretofore constructed) with all the pro- 
ducts of combustion going directly up the chimney, as it is to try to heat a 
range oven with the direct draft going full blast. Our newly invented return 
flue system causes the heat to travel the greatest possible distance before 
leaving the stove, thereby increasing the radiating surface more than two-fold, 
and at the same time throwing the heat to the floor, where it is most needed. 
(See diagrams, pages 90 and 92.) 

Special attention is called to the simplicity of the damper system, affording 
perfect control of the fire at all times. The flues are easily reached and cleaned. 

WE KNOW that Oak stoves in general are dark and gloomy in a parlor 
or sitting room, and, as one party has expressed it, are "so lonesome." The 
new Sterling Oaks have brilliant mica illumination in the main door, which 
adds to the beauty of the nickel work and elaborate ornamentation, and sends 
out a cheerful glow into the room. 

WE KNOW that the ample Tea-Kettle Attachment in the rear of the 
Sterling Base Heater-Oak will prove a blessing in every home. You never saw 
an Oak with one before. 

WE KNOW that it is often inconvenient to lift the cover from the top of 
a high Oak stove, when putting coal into the magazine. Our automatic gas 
cover lifts itself when the main top cover is swung aside. 

WE KNOW that, for personal beauty, these stoves can compare with any 
parlor stove made. Such delicate carving has never been reproduced in any 
cast iron stove. All the elaborate nickel work, including the magnificent foot 
rails, is ventilated to prevent tarnishing. The polished nickel steel ring on 
top, and the chaste ormolu urn, add to the general attractiveness. The fancy 
base can be furnished plain or nickeled, as desired. 

WE KNOW that it is desired to have every Oak as nearly Air Tight as 
possible. With this object in view we have introduced special machinery for 
fitting doors, registers and other parts, while the entire ash-pit section is cast 
in one piece. The heavy lever door handles not only insure tight closing, but 
they are much more durable than the light turnbuckles ordinarily found on 
most stove doors. 

WE KNOW that nothing but the very best material is ever used in 
Sterling Stoves and Ranges. In our Oaks we use the very best No. 16 Pickled 
and Cold Rolled Stove Body Steel, made specially for this purpose. 

WE KNOW that no other heating stove has ever been built with so 
many useful features combined in one construction as found in the 
STERLING BASE HEATER=OAK.

TO START FIRE— Open the Direct Draft Damper in the rear and the 
two dampers in the ash-pit door and close all others. In a few minutes partly- 
open the check damper in the main door to help burn off any coal gas that 
may have generated. When fire is burning briskly, close the ash-pit dampers 
according to the degree of heat desired. Closing the Direct Draft Damper 
throws the heat down into the base flues. Leave the damper in the upper door 
open % of an inch, unless a very hot fire is desired. 

TO CHECK FIRE— Close the Direct Draft Damper and the lower drafts 
entirely and open wide the check damper in feed door. In keeping fire over 
night care must be taken not to check too much. 

TO BURN COAL — Chestnut size coal is recommended, especially when 
using magazine. The Sterling Patent Grate is used . To cut out the ashes put 
shaker on shank with handle to the left, then give a strong half turn to the 
right. Remove the shaker and repeat the operation if necessary. Never turn 
the shaker backwards. Shake the grate through the small door only. 

TO CHANGE GRATES— Open ash-pit door, turn the lugs at the corners 
of the sliding frame, draw out grate and frame, remove the grate bars and 
shaking ring and set the wood grate in place. Slide grate and frame back into 
position and fasten the lugs. 

TO BURN WOOD— It is better to keep the feed door damper open at all 
times, regulating the degree of heat by the lower dampers. The check damper 
in the rear should be kept open only to prevent the formation of creosote in 
the smoke pipe. 

TO START THE WOOD FIRE -Open the Direct Draft Damper in the 
rear and the two draft dampers in the ash-pit door, also keeping the damper in 
the feed door open. 

TO CHECK THE WOOD FIRE— Close the Direct Draft Damper and 
lower drafts entirely, care being taken not to check too much. 

For permanent use, the shaking, draw center wood grate and frame are 
furnished. For temporary use we furnish a drop wood grate, which fits in 
place on top of the regular coal grate. 

Do not use a magazine when burning wood. 

When putting wood into the stove, open the main door gradually. A sud- 
den opening will draw the smoke out into the room. 

Clean-out doors are at the rear corners of the base for removing soot from 
the flues. 

EMPTY THE ASH PAN AT LEAST ONCE EVERY DAY

DIAGRAM 
SHOWING DOUBLE RETURN FLUE SYSTEM 

The accompanying cut fully explains the vast heating capacity of this flue 
system. The heat pours over the edge of the fire-pot into the two down flues 
at the rear. Passing downward into the base on each side of the stove, the 
heat enters the horizontal flues, coming forward to the very front of the stove 
in the upper flues, and returning to the rear in the bottom flues. Then uniting 
in the central up-flue, the two streams pass together into the chimney pipe. 
The flues are easily reached for cleaning.

STERLING OAK (Direct Draft) 

Hot Air Circulator and Double Heater, For Hard Coal, 

Soft Coal or Wood. 

With Patented Mechanical Grate. 



The F Series of the STERLING DIRECT DRAFT OAK was planned as 
a companion stove for the Sterling Base Heater-Oak, and is patterned closely 
after it as to general appearance. 

Living rooms, to be kept comfortably warm, need not necessarily be over- 
heated, and for such purposes a direct draft Oak will generally fill all require- 
ments. 

The STERLING OAK here shown has the patented mechanical grate, and 
the mica illumination, which are features of the Sterling Base Heater-Oak. 
Instead of the Return Flue System, however, we have constructed a Hot Air 
Circulating Flue. The air is taken in at the bottom of the stove, heated to a 
high degree as it passes the entire length of the stove, close to the fire pot. 
The superheated air is discharged from the top of the stove. In homes where 
it is desired to conduct heat into an upper room, suitable pipe connections can 
be made with the hot air circulating flue, without extra attachments. (See 
opposite page.) 

Another convenience which will be appreciated is the automatic lifting of 
the gas cover, when the main top cover is swung aside to put in coal. 

For personal beauty these stoves can compare with any parlor stove made. 
Such delicate carving has never been reproduced in any cast iron stove. All 
the elaborate nickel work, including the magnificent foot rails, is ventilated to 
prevent tarnishing. The polished nickel steel ring on top and the chaste ormolu 
urn add to the general attractiveness. The fancy base can be furnished plain 
or nickeled as desired. The body is made of No. 16 Pickled and Cold Rolled 
Stove Body Steel, made specially for this purpose. 

We would again call attention here to the superiority of our mechanical 
grate, and the ease with which it can be adapted for burning coal or wood. In 
the early fall and late spring, where it is not desired to keep a coal fire in con- 
stant operation, it is then that the wood grates can be used in this stove to take 
the chill off of the rooms, and then when cold weather sets in the regular coal 
grate is used. The change is easily and quickly made by simply drawing the 
grate and frame out through the ash-pit door, and then putting in the wood or 
coal grate as desired. The drop wood grate explained on page S8, can also be 
used in this stove.

RADIX OAK 

Cheap Direct Draft Oak, for Coae or Wood. 
With Newly Invented Grate. 



A remarkably attractive stove, constructed on modern lines, with special 
structural features not found in other makes. 

Our patented mechanical grate, as shown in the cut on the next page, is a 
combined shaking and dumping grate, working on the dockash principle, with 
grate bars constructed under our own special patent, with alternating prongs, 
giving free access of air to the fuel, and at the same time insuring strength of 
material. The grate frame rests on lugs on the base of the stove and can be 
rotated as with ordinary shaking grates. The grate bars rest in sockets in the 
grate frame, and can be revolved to clean the bottom of the fire or dump ashes. 
Only one shaker is used for both operations. The method of removing the 
grate is shown on the next page. 

The stove has a large ash pan. 

The magazine (which is not shipped unless specially ordered) is ventilated 
to prevent accumulation of gas. The magazine cover, in the main top, lifts 
automatically when the swing top is moved aside for putting in coal. An 
elegant ormolu urn surmounts this beautiful stove. 

All of the elaborate nickel ornamentation (including the handsome nickel 
foot rails or skirts, which extend entirely around the stove), is ventilated as a 
prevention against tarnishing. 

The large mica illumination in the feed door gives a bright and cheerful 
appearance to the stove. 

The doors are accurately fitted and held firmly in place by strong lever 
door handles, 

The operation of the stove is very simple. The circular draft slide in the 
ash pit door is used to start the fire or increase the draft. The damper in the 
feed door is to check the fire, and should be partly opened when burning wood 
or soft coal. An additional check damper is placed in the rear of the pipe 
collar, and should be kept open at all times when burning wood, to prevent 
the formation of creosote. 

The price of this stove is so low that it should be within the reach of all. 



104 



Method of Removing Radix Oak Grate 

The grate frame rests on three lugs or steps. Two of these, located in the 
rear of the stove, are immovable, being cast with the body of the stove base. 
The third lug, located directly in front over the ash-pit door, must be removed 
in order to let the grate be dropped down and taken out through the ash-pit 
door. 

There is a small casting (marked " Pat. Appl'd For") over the ash-pit 
door, which is held in place by two turnkeys. Turn these keys aside and lift 
out the plate, which holds the movable grate lug or step in place. 

Hold one hand under the grate to steady it and with the other hand pull 
out the sliding lug. The front part of the grate will then drop down and the 
entire grate can be easily taken out through the ash-pit door. 

To mount the grate in place the operation is reversed — care being taken to 
put the shank of the shaking grate bar through the opening at the right side 
of the stove before lifting the grate into position. 

Push the grate upwards, resting the rear portion on the two rigid lugs. 
Slide the movable lug back into position, and then let the front part of the 
grate down, testing it to see that it moves freely from side to side. Put the 
small casting back into its place and clamp down with the two turnkeys. 

The drop wood grate, as its name implies, is let down through the feed 
door until it rests in place on the coal grate, with the slotted part towards the 
front of the stove.

STERLING PUBLICITY 

In the stove and range business there is one man that stands out in the 
battle of competition like Dewey on the bridge at Manila. It is the enthusi- 
astic dealer who believes in the goods he sells, and advertises accordingly. In 
these days of strenuous life it is necessary for the successful dealer to keep 
himself directly in touch with his trade and the leading people of his com- 
munity — whether they are on his books or not. Publicity is the order of the 
day. 

We spend thousands of dollars every year in preparing tons of advertising 
matter, which we distribute freely to our customers. It is for them to see to 
it that these booklets and circulars are given the greatest possible amount of 
publicity. For a very small sum reliable boys can be found to distribute them 
from house to house and from farm to farm, or a few dollars in postage stamps 
will do the same thing. 

We think the advertising matter we are sending out this year is of special 
interest and particularly likely to attract the attention of the chance reader. 
We can supply the reading matter in liberal quantities, but we cannot supply 
the reader. You must go out in the highways and byways and find him. 

By the way, it is a good thing to read these over yourself from time to 
time, just to refresh your memory. 

If you have not read the catalogue and descriptive circulars, do so, with 
the stoves themselves before you for examination, and you will be filled with 
that '* Sterling Enthusiasm " which alone makes good salesmen. Keep up 
your enthusiasm that you may impart it to others. 

You know as well as we do, that the Sterling Range is better in every 
respect than any other range made, and worth every dollar you ask for it. But 
do you know why it is so, and can you explain the difference to your 
customer ? Can your salesmen do so ? 

The mere fact that you are able and willing to explain intelligibly the 
working features of this Range — its many specialties — its superiority over all 
others — can not fail to impress your audience favorably. 

There is no better medium for placing this article before the public quickly 
and cheaply than by properly distributing the advertising matter we have 
given you. If you have not yet received yours, or if you want more, do not 
hesitate to ask for it. 

If you will take hold of the matter in an energetic way, you will get all 
the stove business this coming season. 



118 



ADVERTISING 

The best way to promote "Publicity" is newspaper advertising. To 
assist our customers in this, we have a large stock of newspaper cuts, some of 
which are shown in the following pages. These are always kept in stock, and 
furnished free to our customers. By using these in connection with our "25 
Ready Made Advertisements " you can keep the good people of your town 
fully aware of the fact that STERLINGS are the best stoves and ranges made, 
and that you have the exclusive sale of same in your town and vicinity. These 
cuts are also good for letter heads, bill heads, envelopes, etc. Always order 
electrotypes by the numbers given under them in this catalogue, and we will 
then know exactly what to send you. 

These outline cuts are especially adapted for newspaper work, or for any 
printing where ordinary paper is used and no great pains taken with the press 
work. If specially fine cuts are needed for circulars or advertisements to be 
printed on good smooth paper, we can furnish either the same wood cuts that 
are shown in the body of this catalogue, or very neat reductions of same. 
These are of use, however, only where a good job of printing can be relied 
upon, as they do not show up well on cheap paper. 

While we are pleased to receive or offer suggestions at any time, or assist 
our customers, if desired, in the preparation of advertising matter, we will not, 
under any circumstances, furnish special printed matter for individual custom- 
ers at our own expense. 

We spend thousands of dollars each year for our general advertising 
matter, and our assortment is so large and varied that all reasonable demands 
can be promptly supplied. 



Ready-Made Advertisements 

For various reasons, dealers sometimes find it inconvenient during the 
busy season to write up their own advertisements. We have accordingly 
prepared a set of 25 " ready made" Sterling Range advertisements, all set up 
and printed on one sheet. All the dealer has to do is to clip out the form he 
likes and send it to his printer, with instructions as to how much space he 
wishes to use. Cuts of the Range or Trade Mark can be used with these forms 
or not as preferred. 

A sample sheet will be mailed on application.
